Hints & Tips

My Top Websites

These are my top 5 websites that I use when researching my family tree, it is worth noting that Ancestry and Find My Past are both subscription services.

Making Your Tree Easier To Read

I do this by creating small thumbnail images to upload as profile pictures in my tree. These can be customised to suit whatever your needs are, I have used these only on my tree but it makes it so much easier to see quick facts on your tree.

Creating A Story

It is one thing to have your family tree online but one stumbling block is how do you display the whole story. I do this by documenting the whole line in a word document that can be easily read. That way you can include photos, certificates, maps etc. that help build up a more rounded story of your ancestors and how they lived.
